Please


Don't stay with me

It'll only make it worse

Why can't you see?

This is my curse

 

Don't stay with me

It'll only bring you grief

Why do you ignore my plea?

Just make it brief

 

And yet you stay all the same

You just want to help

I just need to get rid of this shame!

So help me stop hating myself
